The National Training and Simulation Association (NTSA), sponsor of I/ITSEC, believes strongly that there is an American crisis in science and technology education. At our I/ITSEC event, you will see Science, Technology, Engineering and Math programs (STEM) in action on many different levels.

In order to keep I/ITSEC program timely and relevant, over 300 volunteers dedicate time throughout the entire year (sometimes more) to provide fresh relevant material. Click through this section to see more about the committee structure and opportunities.
If you are interested in being joining this team, contact the Program Chair to be connected to the upcoming year's coordinator.

Training Subcommittee

This subcommittee seeks papers that discuss the application of innovative concepts, methods and technologies to create effective training solutions. Papers should present a design framework based on literature, analysis of current solutions and training needs, and practical application. Popular topic areas include agile and adaptive training strategies, integration techniques, training system interoperability, individual and collective team training, crew coordination, and legacy system upgrades. Evaluations of training effectiveness and lessons learned, documented with quantifiable data, are also encouraged. Emerging areas of interest include technology based medical training, cyber training, augmented reality and virtual training environments, game-based learning, and training techniques to deal with uncertain and rapidly changing environments. The subcommittee is interested in all phases of training system design and development including planning, analysis, design, development, deployment, evaluation and life cycle support. Submissions from new industries that demonstrate innovative and effective training methods are welcomed.
